From Sorcerer to Mafia

Ever since transferring to Jujutsu High, young Chiba Mitsuki has had to go to work under the guise of attending school. Every day, his mood is low and gloomy. If his negative emotions could give birth to cursed spirits, his spirits would have blown up the entire jujutsu world by now. He just kept living like that, maybe dying one day. That was the jujutsu world: a completely rotten place. Then one day, a gentle voice appeared in his mind. The person called himself Tsuna, and somehow the two of them could talk inside their heads. Maybe that person was simply too kind. Mitsuki found himself confiding his feelings, and somehow, once he had finished, even the things that could bring the sky crashing down felt like minor troubles. Twenty-year-old Tsuna was gentle and accepting. Sometimes he quietly listened; other times, he made decisive calls. His figure was hidden in the mist of Mitsuki’s mind, so Mitsuki could only imagine what he might look like. Chiba Mitsuki was captivated by Tsuna. He desperately wanted to meet him, and even wanted to keep that warmth, that acceptance of everything, forever. He knew he was being greedy, but when someone on the verge of death finally found hope, he wasn’t going to let go. When he learned Tsuna worked in Italy, he went to find him without hesitation. After finally tracking him down, he discovered that Tsuna was in the mafia, and a very powerful one at that. Chiba Mitsuki: So he’s in the mafia! Mr. Tsuna must be the kindest, most outstanding, most unique… (and many more words of praise) boss! … One day, Tsuna, now a boss, connected in his mind with a quiet boy. He learned that the boy was supposed to be attending a prestigious junior high school, but for certain reasons had been kidnapped and sent to a technical school. The school taught its students nothing and made them do dangerous work where their lives were constantly at risk. Tsuna could relate. He taught the boy how to tear the whole system down, using the experience he’d gained after becoming a boss. And it worked! The boy’s world changed. The heartless bosses could no longer control them, and the low-level workers finally got the protections they deserved. Tsuna had thought it would be a happy ending for everyone. He could already picture the boy’s pale, gloomy face breaking into a shy smile as he went off to do what he wanted and found his freedom. But at just that moment, the boy left everything behind and came to Italy to find him. Looking pitiful, he said he had nothing left and that Tsuna had to take responsibility. R Teacher offered a pointed, needling remark: “Looks like you’ve got a debt of love to settle.” Tsuna: ? Gentle older boss Tsuna x younger puppy-like Mitsuki Theme: There is hope everywhere in life
